GREY GOOSE® VODKA CELEBRATES TENNIS SEASON WITH FRANCES TIAFOE AND THE "LAST SERVE BAR" AT GRAND CENTRAL TERMINAL
The GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® cocktail remains a winning serve at this year's US Open, after generating over $12.8 million in sales with more than 556,000 cocktails sold in 2024 by the USTA.
HAMILTON, Bermuda, Aug. 20, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- GREY GOOSE® vodka is proud to announce its return to the US Open for the 19th year to serve the GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® US Open signature cocktail. The French vodka brand once again invites fans to toast world-class tennis with the season's hottest accessory, this year going beyond the tournament grounds with a new, limited-time bar pop-up at Grand Central Terminal and renewed partnership with American tennis player Frances Tiafoe.
For the first time, GREY GOOSE will give fans rushing to and from the US Open another moment to savor the infectious energy of the tournament with the Last Serve Bar: a chance to enjoy a GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® US Open signature cocktail when heading back from watching a daytime or evening match at Arthur Ashe Stadium. The Last Serve Bar will be popping up on the east side of the station's Vanderbilt Hall from Wednesday, August 27 through Friday, August 29. For many tournament attendees, Grand Central Terminal is an integral part of the US Open experience. More than 60% of fans use mass transit to and from the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center via the 7-subway line and Long Island Railroad (according to the MTA), and many thousands pass through the historic train station, creating a central hub for the excitement the tournament brings to New York City. Open from 5-8 pm and 10 pm-1 am each day, the Last Serve Bar will serve complimentary, on-trend 'tiny 'tini' sample-sized GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® and Espresso Martini cocktails for hustling commuters and late-night crowds looking to pause and make time wait. The bar will be unveiled with a spectacle of equally 'grand' proportions: follow @greygoose.com to stay tuned.
GREY GOOSE has also teamed up with tennis star Frances Tiafoe for the second year. As a player that embodies cheerful style on and off the court, Tiafoe and GREY GOOSE will inspire fans to savor more moments of pleasure at the US Open, whether that's cheers-ing with a GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® cocktail, enjoying a 'last call' night cap at the brand's 'Last Serve Bar' on the way home from the US Open, or sporting a joyful 'tenniscore' fit.
'The feeling at the US Open is electric—the crowds, the passion, the style. It's an energy unlike any other Grand Slams tournament and one that could only come from New York City, and I'm excited to keep it going with GREY GOOSE again this year,' said Frances Tiafoe. 'The GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® cocktail has become a symbol of that joyful spirit. It's part of the culture, the look, and the celebration of the tournament.'
Since its debut 18 years ago, the GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® signature cocktail of the US Open has evolved from a stadium concession to a cultural phenomenon: the exclusive signature cocktail of the US Open can be found on menus at top bars, in the hands of A-list celebrities, on the back of t-shirts and in airport lounges and even thousands of feet above Arthur Ashe Stadium on flights traveling worldwide. Not only is it the 'season's hottest accessory,' but it is also considered the 'economic star of the tournament' with more than 556,000 sold at the 2024 tournament by the USTA— a 23.5% increase over year prior — resulting in a record-setting $12.8 million in sales.
'The US Open is a premier sporting event that is truly unlike any other. There's an infectious joyful spirit that inspires people to dress up in their finest fits, enjoy a GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® cocktail with friends and cheer on the best players from around the world,' said Aleco Azqueta, Global Vice President of Marketing for GREY GOOSE vodka. 'With our new Last Serve Bar at Grand Central Terminal, we are inviting fans to take a moment from their busy days to make time wait and savor the spirit of the tournament even after the last point is won.'
The GREY GOOSE Honey Deuce® is crafted with GREY GOOSE vodka, fresh lemonade, raspberry liqueur, and topped with tennis-inspired honeydew melon balls. This year, GREY GOOSE will have branded cocktail bars serving the pink-hued drink in four locations at the USTA Billie Jean King National Tennis Center: the Food Village, Grandstand, Louis Armstrong Stadium's concourse, and the promenade level of Arthur Ashe Stadium.
For those tuning into the US Open tournament from home, GREY GOOSE will offer the Honey Deuce® Express service in New York, Chicago and, for the first time, Miami, delivering canned versions of the cocktail right to fans' front doors for the duration of the tournament via Uber Eats and Cocktail Courier.

Hitting All The Right Notes On A Music-Driven Culinary Tour Of Seattle
There are so many gems in the Emerald City that showcase the area's deep connection to all sorts of music with culinary connections. Ready to rock and roll? Let's go. Home to so many legends Icons including Jimi Hendrix, Quincy Jones and Ray Charles called Seattle home at some points in their lives, then, of course, Ann and Nancy Wilson and the beloved Heart crew. Years later, the incredibly prolific grunge era was born in the PNW. Hit up the Museum of Pop Culture (MoPOP) at Seattle Center for some surprising background on that period of time when Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Nirvana were making some beautiful noise. That ground-breaking trio is featured in a special exhibit that's closing Sept. 7, so get on it. While you're roaming around this stunning Frank Geary-designed space that began as the vision of the late Mircosoft co-founder Paul Allen, be sure and check out the new seasonal menu at Culture Kitchen's newly updated Lounge. Menu highlights include a dry-aged salmon with Braised Bok Choy, Forbidden Rice Congee and a Kombu Dashi, as well as Truffled Mushroom Croquettes and a shareable charcuterie plate with pork sourced from Beast and Clever Butcher Shop/Restaurant. Still in a Smells-Like-Teen-Spirit frame of mind? Consider checking into Hotel Max, where the vibe carries over into the guest rooms on the special Sub Pop Records floor. You're going to dig the doors emblazoned with larger-than-life photos of music legends and the turntables in those rooms. This spot is rightly famous for its nightly beer hour in the lobby, where guests gather and become fast friends. But before leaving Seattle Center, there's so much more to explore. Bumbershoot'n This Labor Day weekend celebration of music and art extends to culinary arts with some of last year's biggest hits making return appearances. Yes, the crowds called for encores from Local Tide -- beloved for its fish-n-chips – Musangtino's x Musang (fantastic Filipino food from chef Melissa Miranda), The Chicken Supply, Eva's Wild, known for its sustainable fishing and low carbon footprint, neighborhood favorite Big Max Burgers, Gold Coast Ghal Kitchen (Liberian and Ghanaian cuisine) and a whole bunch of meats cooked low-and-slow by Jack's BBQ. Newbies that'll have tongues wagging are Seoul Tacos, XX and Indigo Cow, which sources extra rich milk for its crave-worthy soft-serve from Japan. Check out the full culinary lineup on the official Bumbershoot site and tune into my Instagram live feed for a tasting tour at 1 p.m. Pacific on Aug. 30. One more tasty stop while in this neighborhood: Don't miss a visit to the KEXP Gathering Space, where Caffe Vita pulls stellar espresso drinks and serves up pastries from local bakeries including Sea Wolf. Consider yourself lucky and get ready to coffee nerd out if you are able to hit one of the free First Friday cuppings. Also, yes, you need some merch from the Sub Pop Shop that recently opened in the Gathering Space. Good morning from Easy Street Not sure if there's another place on the planet quite like this vinyl-centric record shop in West Seattle that's also home to a popular cafe. To get a sense of the good fun on offer at this venerable diner, just check out the special lineup of bevs: The Cardi B chai latte promises to deliver a sexy sipper, while the Mudhoney is a mocha that gets extra sticky sweet with the addition of, yup, some honey. Come for brunch on a Sunday morning – during the robust Neighborhood Farmers Market – and you might have to wait for a table. Before getting hangry, wander down the block for a pastry from the award-winning Bakery Nouveau or go the other direction and indulge in the food porn-ish sweets from the Little Jaye Cafe and Bakery popup at Lady Jaye. Those now legendary Fruity Pebbles Rice Krispies Treats will make you feel like a kid again. Crank it up Ever noticed how you can barely hear the music that's playing in most dining rooms? Yes, that's why they call it background music. But let's hear it for a restaurant that isn't shy about turning up the volume and setting the stage for meals as entertainment. That's just one reason to fall in love with Ciudad in Seattle's Georgetown neighborhood. This live-fire cooking spot opened in 2016 was initially a collaboration between chef Matt Dillon and Marcus Lalario, a tireless entrepreneur who's got a robust lineup of restaurants and lifestyle/clothing brands under the Sugar Shack Unlimited flag. Dillon's no longer involved, but since he stepped away, there have been lots of interesting developments in the Ciudad space, including adding another eatery nearby – Northern Italian-inspired Mezzanotte opened in 2020 -- and bringing chef Taylor Thornhill on board to expertly run the Ciudad kitchen. But let's back it up to Lalario's early career immersed in music: 'I liked about my age to get my first job at Easy Street Records,' he said with a smile. He was just 16 and before turning 20, he'd bought The Beat Box and turned it into an all-ages club – it later became The War Room. He managed bands and launched a record label called Under the Needle. There were bars, boutiques and barbershops in those early days when Lalario often partnered with frequent collaborator Brian Rauschenbach. Inspired by burger joints he'd frequented while touring with bands, Lalario opened lovable Lil Woody's on Capitol Hill in 2011. It became an instant hit leading to multiple locations including a hot spot in Tokyo. Lil Woody's deserves a big round of applause for shining the spotlight on area chefs during its wildly popular Burger Month each February. A couple years ago, Lalario opened Darkalino's in Pioneer Square, a salute to Old School Italian-American cuisine with chef Sean Russo ably running the kitchen. (The house-made pasta is outstanding and those magical meatballs are likely to remind you of your Nonna.) The restaurant shares the gorgeous space with upscale sports-driven retailer Hometeam, which – get this – just launched a free concert series this summer. Talk about full circle with the whole music thing. Brava! Back to Ciudad, where the wide-ranging menu defies definition. The temptation is to order everything and that wouldn't be wrong. Among the many superstars: fried corn with charcoal aioli, seared haloumi served alongside roasted red peppers, pickled pears, almond, morita chili oil and – wow – those harissa-glazed carrots with herbed goat cheese, dates, garlic walnut crunch. And those are just the starters, setting the table for a spectacular lineup of grilled meats and veggies cooked over charcoal, but don't you dare miss those lamb ribs finished in harissa barbecue sauce, labneh, pickled red onions, fresh herbs. They slap. Finally, that soft, squishy, flavorful flatbread leaves a lasting impression, made for many years by the same dedicated line cook. Big round of applause for chef Kevin! And all that jazz Can't talk about music in Seattle without a conversation about Dimitriou's Jazz Alley, arguably the coolest supper club on the West Coast. Fans pack the place to see an eclectic mix of performances. Ravi Coltrane, Ottmar Liebert and Keiko Matsui are on the calendar soon. For years, Grammy award winner Taj Mahal has settled in for a long run during the week leading up to Thanksgiving. This year marks his 30th anniversary at Jazz Alley. Amazing. Guessing a big part of the pull back to this classy club run by John, Carla and Ari Dimitriou is chef Alvin Binuya's exceptional food. The menu is extensive and while there's plenty to make meat lovers happy – the Double R Ranch Prime New York Steak – is top of that must-try list. Still, seafood is king. Fresh, line-caught wild salmon and halibut preparations are brilliant. And, yes, that seafood gumbo will likely make you hum 'Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans.' Order that classic with a side of Southern-style collard greens and cornbread. One more very cool reason to book a table at Jazz Alley? There's free garage parking nearby, a real rarity in Downtown Seattle.

PSG Partners With Rematch To Drive Unique User-Generated U.S. Content
Paris Saint-Germain's (PSG) U.S. academies are partnering with community-driven sports highlight platform Rematch to allow their communities to capture and share unique content from games across the country. The partnership will integrate Rematch into the PSG Academy ecosystem and allow for social media collaborations. As part of the agreement, 'Rematch will organize and share the best highlights from across the [PSG] academies for each individual use on a weekly basis. In turn, the PSG Academy brand will be embedded on all captured and shared content from academy competitions and training.' The agreement begins this fall and will include six of PSG academies: Dallas, Houston, Los Angeles, Miami, Orlando, and Phoenix. There was even strong interest from PSG's academy in British Columbia, but the Rematch app is not yet operational in Canada, so that agreement will not be finalized until 2026. Rematch U.S. CEO Hanna Howard says this partnership will 'unlock access to content that most academies and clubs don't have.' The highlights will be user-generated, from the sidelines, without the need for a videographer. What is Rematch? Rematch is a French company founded in 2019. It allows sports fans to effortlessly capture highlights and provides 'a dedicated social platform where highlights can be viewed and shared-so every player, every game, every highlight can be seen and celebrated.' FEATURED | Frase ByForbes™ Unscramble The Anagram To Reveal The Phrase Pinpoint By Linkedin Guess The Category Queens By Linkedin Crown Each Region Crossclimb By Linkedin Unlock A Trivia Ladder Unlike traditional videography, which requires a camera, a full match recording, and then hours of video editing to deliver a highlights package, Rematch's software allows fans to live the memorable moment in real-time and then go back and capture it on camera. Using a specialized AI-powered rewind software, fans using the Rematch app just need to hit record after the goal, basket, or try is scored, and the app will automatically capture the preceding fifteen to twenty seconds of action, giving the user a high-quality, ready-made highlight clip. The app was popularized in the French grassroots sports market before launching in the U.S. Since 2019, Rematch has partnered with the French Federations for basketball, soccer, handball, rugby, and others, and has had over 700 million highlights views. Rematch launched in January 2025 in the U.S. In its first six months, Rematch videos have had roughly 10.5 million views across social media platforms, and the app is expected to eclipse more than 10,000 users by the end of August. With more than 2,000 total games filmed and 22,000 highlights captured, the app is democratizing sports visibility, allowing the best moments across all youth sports to be watched. In the company's own words, 'Rematch is a movement to celebrate participation, connect communities, and open new opportunities for sponsors and organizations to engage a passionate sports audience.' PSG Partnership and the Future of Rematch Rematch launched in the U.S. with a focus on youth soccer before successfully expanding into basketball. The app is looking to add more sports, notably volleyball and American football, and even had a brief beta trial with Major League Rugby. The partnership with PSG's U.S. academies was the product of mutual connections. Rematch pitched its offering to the Parisian powerhouse back in April. As Howard recalls, 'they really took a liking to it.' It helped that there was also a French connection. For what Howard describes as 'a significant discount,' the six PSG academies will receive access to user-generated content that can enhance the club's brand visibility in the U.S. The app has no cost, which means parents and casual fans can easily download it. Recording is so simple that any fan with a smartphone can do it. From there, Rematch will review all the captured content, tailor highlight videos, and upload them to social media with club branding. Howard also says there will be opportunities for brand collaborations. Rematch will provide the academies (and any partner entity) with performance metrics of different posts, monthly reports on involvement, and will even spotlight parents who post the most high-performing content as a way of providing inter-academy gamification. Rematch remains hyper-focused on celebrating highlights regardless of sporting level or competition. The company is developing a premium version of the app, which will cost users $4.99 a month and will allow fans to capture videos in 4k or 1080p and will provide filters that remove camera shake, distracting audio, and customized video length — at the moment, soccer highlights default to 15 seconds. The low monthly fee is part of Rematch's efforts to remain appealing to the widest possible user base. As Howard says, 'We are really determined to maintain accessibility for parents.' The partnership with PSG is just the beginning. Rematch is open to the possibility of partnering with professional leagues and clubs, just as it did with MLR. In the age of content creation, this is a chance for all fans to actively celebrate their sports.

Orioles' Félix Bautista faces another long recovery after surgery to repair rotator cuff and labrum
BALTIMORE (AP) — Orioles closer Félix Bautista has had another major operation, this time to repair a torn rotator cuff and torn labrum. The team says Bautista had surgery Tuesday with Dr. Neal ElAttrache in Los Angeles. The development comes just over a week after interim manager Tony Mansolino announced the 6-foot-8 right-hander would miss the rest of the season because of a 'significant' shoulder injury. Bautista is likely to miss most of next season too, part of a string of health issues that have limited him since he made the All-Star team in 2023. Bautista was one of the most imposing relievers in baseball that year, posting 33 saves and a 1.48 ERA. But he missed the last month of that season, plus the playoffs, because of a right UCL injury. After Tommy John surgery, he was out for all of 2024. Bautista was able to make it back this year, going 1-1 with a 2.60 ERA and 19 saves, but after 34 2/3 innings, he'll miss significant time again. The Orioles were off Wednesday. They begin a four-game home series Thursday night against Houston. Baltimore remains in last place in the AL East but has won six of its last seven, all against postseason contenders. ___ AP MLB:
